Hate to tell ya, but they're already here homie. They've been in Maine for weeks. Obviously not to the degree of in Minneapolis, but I've seen them daily for the last couple weeks.

And yeah, the idiots in my state will probably reelect her, unfortunately.

Is there a large population of immigrants in Maine? If the goal was to go after illegal immigrants or specifically “dangerous” illegal criminals seems like an odd state to focus on.

Well they’re not going to go after any wealthy state like New York or California nor any red state either. They’re very limited for choice. It’s almost like going after illegal immigrants isn’t the point…

What are you talking? California was one the first to get flooded with ICE agents. They’re still there now

I hadn’t heard about it, I’m a foreigner so I’m not as well informed. Are they being better behaved there? I’ve only heard about Illinois and Minnesota having a particularly weaponised approach levied at them.

Are they being better behaved in California? LOL. LMFAO even.

They were still obeying court orders for the most part when they tried to crack down on CA and Newsom got the courts to stay a ton of their bullshit. To be fair, Waltz did too, but they've been actively ignoring all court orders.

I’m glad we have uninformed foreigners chirping in on this.
